2.32.0-rc2 passes on the NonStop x86 platform. ia64 is slower and
still running. The test failure is t9001 because there is no sendmail
on the platform. Is there a suitable dependency that I can use add to
bypass this test?

Hmm, we shouldn't be depending on platform sendmail for the tests
(after all, we do not want to actually send mail!). What does the failure look like?

This looks strange. There is no signal 34 defined by the platform.

I should point out that all 6 failures in t9001 have the same characteristic - signal 34.
